Jazmine Sullivan - Holding You Down (Remix) (feat. MJB & Swizz Beats)

Song of the week. Swizz Beats created another party banging master piece. I will not be able to have fun at an event for the next month unless this song is played! The beat alone brings my insides alive. You know when your in the car driving and your JAM comes on, and you hear that bass drop, and your head just starts knocking, and you make that real mean face cuz the song is so tough you can feel it in your soul??? Well yea, this is one of those bangers! Make sure your DJ drops this at your next event!

5 TIPS TO FINDING THE RIGHT DJ

Nearly all clients believe that entertainment is the determining factor in the success of their event. You will always be able to find a "good price," the more important question should be, what is the value that you will receive? Remember, you only have one chance to do it right.

With that said here are 5 tips in finding the right DJ:


1. Style & Personality - Request to meet your DJ before your wedding to ensure that they have the right style and personality not only to match you and your FI, but to also manage your reception.

2. Communication & Articulation - This might come as a suprise, but communication and articulation are extremely important. Once you find the right DJ you want to make sure that they can announce, communicate and articulate. Not only to your guests but also to your other vendors. For example, when its time for the the cake cutting, it's the DJ's responsibility to inform the photographer and videographer so that they do not miss a moment on camera/film. You always want to make sure your DJ is the right MC for your event with how she/he articulates.

3. Interaction with Guests - It's all about conveying energy, emotion and a positive experience. There are many ways a DJ will interact with your guests, from announcing that they join the bride and groom on the dance floor for this dance to show their love and appreciation to teaching the cupid shuffle if thats what you want. Music conveys love and happiness and your DJ/MC will convey the energy and emotion.

4. Take Requests - Your DJ should be able to adjust to the crowd. From the list of songs and genre's that you give her/him that you like to taking requests, it's all about knowing when to the play the right song at the right time. It's also important to know what the must play songs are and what songs not to play. It also makes your wedding day more memorable and personable not only for you but for your guests as well, when the DJ can play songs that you guests love to dance to. It's also your wedding day, so if you do not want the DJ to take requests, let them know.

5. Manage/Direct the Flow of Activities - DJs who understand the flow of activities and flow of music are able to build momentum and keep the evening flowing smoothly. For example, if the bride and groom are an hour late, you now only have 3 hours for your reception. Your DJ should be able to adapt and and make changes to the flow of activities so that you and your guests do not feel rushed and still get enjoy the evening over dinner and have time for dancing!

The last thing you want is to find that a "good price" DJ is the worst money you have ever saved. Remember you have one chance.

ALL WHITE BOAT RIDE!!


It was was an experience that I will never forget! An All White Boat Ride on the "Star or the Palm" in the Hudson River. Manhattan was lit that night as we road a boat through the river, partying the night away. Bumping the music over the waves, I'd have to say it was one of the coolest things I've ever experienced DJ'ing. The crowd came looking fancy in their all white attire, and they danced all nite! If you missed it this year.... You'll have to be there next year! Check out the latest photos.

New Lauryn Hill!- "Repercussions" (New 2010 single)

It's Official! Lauryn Hill is Back! She's got a new song out and it of course is amazing. I love her voice, and love the thought she puts into her music. It's always so deep. I'm just hoping she decides to go on tour one day soon so that we can get to hear her sing live again. Lauryn Hill is without a doubt a legend. Check out her newest song!
